In a thick fog, much like that the night of the U.S. Open Cup Qualifier in Peoria, the USMNT finally seemed to get the attacking style that was expected of a Jurgen Klinsman team. Lacking an attacker that can create and score by himself consistently, the USMNT was able to benefit from an extra attacker and was quickly able to push the ball forward scoring their first goal in just the 9th minute. After only scoring 2 goals in their first 6 games under Klinsman, the USMNT was able to double their goal tally in only the 41st minute on a goal from Clint Dempsey.

Earlier this week MLS Rumors posted an audio interview from It’s Called Football with Canadian Soccer Association’s General Secretary, Peter Montopoli, about the possibility of a Canadian 2nd Division. A Canadian 2nd division has been talked about for a couple years now and with CSA launching a feasibility study on the possibility of creating a Canadian only professional soccer league it is looking more and more likely. This however would be a mistake. Rather than creating their own league it would be beneficial for both U.S. and Canadian soccer if they kept their club leagues together in united soccer leagues.
